Sound distortion (electric surge) - HTC EVO 3D

Hey guys
I have a very strange sound distortion (not a regular one). Sometimes at a very random frequent, my phone produce this strange sound distortion its like an electric surge sound. It happens during calls as well as when playing media files. It just block the source sound from media files or voice from calls. Sometimes it goes by it self (it stays for some seconds) and sometimes I have to pull the battery to fix.
Things I noticed,, it happens on stock rom as well as cooked roms. My evo is GSM version bought from UK. I have a feeling that it happens from the network but im not sure
Any help would be appreciated
edit: It happens when I touch the screen, the sound distortion comes if I flip my finger left and right the distortion get stronger until there are no sounds at all.
edit2: It seems turning airplane mode on then off solve the problem for good period of time (phone been working good for more than 10 hours now without this problem occuring again, but I know it will come back :S )

come on guys

You're upset because people didn't respond to you for two hours in the ass hours of the morning?
But seriously, it sounds like poor grounding on a speaker or the touch screen or something. Might want to get a replacement. It'll probably get worse over time.

We have different time.
Anyway I found that turning airplane mode on solve it for a while.
I'm not sure what is it right now :S
Is it touch screen, radio, speaker or even stock kernel.

I would still look at getting it replaced. That could be some bad shielding on the speaker if you're not getting buzzing when the radios are off.

Thanks m8,
It's hardly reproduceable after turning the airplane mode on and off. It's working good from my last reply.
I don't know what to do when I ship it back. As it may not happen without a sim card.

You should be able to exchange it under warranty. Usually they don't require you to send the sim card back, I don't believe.

Second day with no problems after using airplane mode.
I can't return this device if I can't reproduce the problem.

keeping it on airplane mode doesnt solve the problem and besides you can make or recieve text messages or calls? Pretty much rendering the phone useless. take back to store sounds like a hardware problem.

I had the same exact issue. It started to bother me quite a bit. What I did to rectify the problem was hold the power button down and tell it to go into airplane mode. I let it stay in airplane mode for a minute then turned airplane mode off.
Ever since doing this task it has rebooted each and everytime like it is suppose too. If this seems to work for you folks as well great. Perhaps it will help figure out what the issue may be.

EVO 3D will not power up

Any ideas?
I was in TWRP at the main menu, instead of clicking power off, I pulled the battery to replace the sd card with another. Now it will not power up, when I plug it in..no red light?
Thanks in advance...Jim

This happened to me about a week ago. Charging it was what fixed it.
If charge it doesn't fix go to a sprint store and let them charged the battery the did the trick for.my EVO 4G once the happened, for.some reason the battery seems dead when is nor really dead
MGS on my iPad
Maybe check the battery connectors dood. I know some htc models have problems with those.
Coz i just saw it in 3D with the Shooter!
mines not powering up either.. Never turned it off, woke up this morning & it was off. Not powering up. been on charger all night
happens all the time to me. i know its a flaw, but ive learned to NEVER let my battery go all the way dead. If i see it get around 5-10% ill just put in on airplane mode til i can get to a charger. Also if you battery is very low, turning it off or pulling the battery will cause it to get an attidude and not turn back on for 15-20 min
Yeah, I have been having lots of "attitude" from my battery or power button or on/off code or whatever is making these things not want to power on reliably.... Not to mention the random charge-light-on-wont-turn-on antics. Has been happening more and more frequently and nothing i do works reliably so I just try them all until one works.
I can't have this. This morning I woke up to a locked phone, screen off, green light on, won't turn on.... And totally dead battery while plugged in? Good thing my nook is so reliable as an alarm clock or I might have been in deep **** at work.
It's not the rom or kernel... I've tested everything. I think it's deeper than that. I might not be able to wait for the nexus-prime.... Sgs2 might have to do.

I've seen a lot of these posts. I usually never let mine get in the amber even but I recently flashed viper rom so i wanted to do a battery calibration...meaning..reset stats from full charge..then use it till it dies. After reading these posts I realized mine hadnt died on me any yet. After 16 hours of heavy abuse (12 hours of normal music streaming, calls, text, web surfing etc...and 4 hours of just playing youtube video's with all radio's on trying to kill the damn thing) it finally croaked. Worked just fine though.
Maybe something to do with certain shipments. I've seen a lot of posts on htis but no one ever puts out a batch number or anything. Perhaps all the ones having issues came from a similar batch...and have some designation of affiliation with said batch. Just a though..if we could discover some trend in this...perhaps they'd consider acknowledging it and helping users with issues...or at least help new comers to the thread avoid particular troublesome ones.

i think it has something to do with the non HTC s-off method. But im right with you. As soon as Sprint releases the s2 this 3D is going straight to ebay. I love it, but the signal weakness and power problems are MAJOR things that I cant take much longer

It did this before I did s-off.... Admittedly not as much, but it also hadn't done it any more afterwards.... Until a week or so ago, and it just seems to be getting worse. I have an unmodified eng hboot and radio, I doubt that there are remnants of revolutionary that would get progressively worse over time....but I have no idea honestly.

Agreed. I stopped into my local radio Shack two days before release to play with their demo unit.... Turned on... Played with 3D... Turned off... Never came back on again, ever. Tried everything.

AWFUL signal strength. actually, worse Ive ever had on a phone.
my EVO never came back. I was at 60% batt life when I put on charge last night & was dead ass hell this morning.. no life at at.. Sprint tech took it apart it said the phone apears like new, just lifeless. swapped battery with 3 others, no good. So I figured it would be a long shot but I took it back to the store I got it from 36 days ago.. & Explained what happen.. Swapped me out with another one right then & there!..
BTW this is my 5th NEW Evo3D. thats sad...

[Q] Phone up and awake times are identical.

This is causing me to have to take a charger with me everywhere. I am not rooted, and it is not an app I have installed, as I have done many resets with no apps installed and I didn't even sign in to Google. They are always the same. I took it to Sprint and they tell me that is normal. If it is, why have two separate times? Seems redundant to me. Plus, on my EVO 4G and my Hero, my awake time only equaled out to be about an hour more than how much I used it, and that would be over days. My battery is going to **** and I don't know what to do. I didn't have this issue with my other 3VO(swapped for a broken earpiece) and now I'm wishing I would have just dealt with the broken earpiece. Sprint is being a ***** about fixing THEIR screw up!
I had this issue when I left wifi on. Turned it off, problem gone.

Rezound - Issues List

For all those lucky enough to have their hands on a Rezound, please post any problems you are noticing (dropping calls, bad bluetooth, rebooting, etc).
SERIOUS Widespread (A lot of people seem to be speaking up) Issues:
1) Heat Issues (130+ degrees)
2) Dead Pixels
Other Widespread (A lot of people seem to be speaking up) Issues:
1) Since the SD Card now shows as "SD Card 2" many apps which do not know to look for that as the true SD card will not find items on your SD Card.
2) Birthday integration from facebook (birthday in the people app shows a day early) [SAME AS ON INCREDIBLE]
4) A high pitched whine while listening to music through headphones [MANY people have this]
5) The soft buttons turn pink
Other Raised Issues But May Be User/Phone Specific Rather than Common:
1) Notification sounds change seemingly at random
2) Light leakage on the bottom underneath the capacative buttons
If you are having any problems, please head over to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359862
and post your problem and your manufacture date/batch number. Maybe we can figure out if these are just for a specific batch of phones.
Thanks!

I think turning off the 4g radio helps this phone a lot. Under networks, go into network settings then preferred and you can set it to cdma or lte/cdma.

basically you didn't really do much of anything with the phone in that time. id like to see much battery drain there is with it constantly using 4g data w/ the screen on the whole time, for 3 hours. my Thunderbolt would die before the 3 hour mark(stock battery).
Batteries can be replaced with extended batteries. While very important, would still like to hear if there are reboot problems or Bluetooth problems or anything else.

nah, just like on the incredible, they work based off ambient light. tunr off all lights or cover the area by the ear piece, they'll come on. turn on a light and put the phone under said light, they'll turn off.

believe me, when i first got my inc, i had no idea why it did that either until someone explained it to me too

Doesn't work quite that way for me, to be honest. I was sitting outside in the dark tonight, and they would just not come on sometimes. Most frequently, when I unlocked the phone and explored the home screen, they would stay off. But sitting here now, in a lit room, they do the same thing. Let the phone sit for a bit, and on they come. Weird.
It does seem like an issue to me. Just an annoyance.
Have not tried Bluetooth functionality yet. No random reboots yet. Had trouble getting Wifi to work at the house. Turns out I put the wrong MAC address in my wireless router MAC filter list. User error on that one.

Not sure if this is worth it's own thread... guess I'll just post it here. I've heard some questions elsewhere about weight. I weighed the Thunderbolt and Rezound. Here are the weights I measured.
Rezound - 170 g.
Thunderbolt - 195 g.
So the Rezound is still a hefty boy. Not as hefty as the Thunderbolt, though.
Maybe you've got a defective one? They're supposed to work based on ambient lighting. Thats weird.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
They do, I bet if he covered it with his finger it'd go on, then go off when directly next to a light (each for several seconds).
A problem is often HTC's settings for ambient light aren't the best, and they won't go on at a relatively dark area because there is a light off in the distance that it picks up.
I do believe there is a few second delay after determining if it's dark or light, so that it doesn't rapidly flicker when changing from light to dark areas.
My HTC incredible did the same thing, and the TB did too. No surprise to hear this
Exactly. Haha
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
One other thing about the capacitive buttons. Unless I have defective ones, they aren't exactly "red" when lit up. They look more like hot pink.
Personally, I don't mind. I roll with a green theme, and the pink is a nice subtle clash to the green and complement to the black bezel. If you're unlike me and are afraid of sporting a phone with pink buttons when it's lit up, I guess this should worry you.
hmm..all the videos i've seen looked red..interesting.
maybe that'll be like the ol famous 'pink hue' problem from our amoled incs! haha osme had it, some didn't

I think most pics posted online show it in the unlit state, where there is definitely a dark red color. I guess when lit, it's more like Magenta than pink... if you can tell the difference.
Odds are I'm the only one curious but, how's the quality on the earbuds that come with the phone?
Are they comparable to any of the models they sell?
Also as of now does it seem like most developers are holding out for the nexus? Seems to be the impression I am getting - sticking to my Thunderbolt for now...

Per HTC there is NO overheat alarm. The unit WILL shut down.
BTW mine was also ringing this morning, this is my second DNA that has done this.. Just might account for a dead battery if I forget to plug in at night. Usually I can get 36 to 48 hours on a battery charge.
my bad. I found the thread. a bunch of people were saying that, not confirmed lol but read this.. someone said it was the roaming alarm?

Unknown cause - only restart stops it
I too have had this problem several times over the past several months. It is not overheating related nor is it an alarm, a roaming alert or anything else I can uncover. It's an alert of some sort, but damned if I can figure out how to stop it other than restarting the phone. HTC told me they have no history of such a thing, but that could be because it is hard to describe the faint ringing type sound. If you have ear buds plugged in, as I did yesterday while listening to music, believe me it AIN'T faint. It was a full blast chirping ring from ear to ear even though i had my media volume set very low so I could hear the paging system at work. I hope somebody figures out what it is because it's annoying and I'm just plain curious as to what is causing it.

It's an alert of some sort, but damned if I can figure out how to stop it other than restarting the phone. HTC told me they have no history of such a thing, but that could be because it is hard to describe the faint ringing type sound. If you have ear buds plugged in, as I did yesterday while listening to music, believe me it AIN'T faint. It was a full blast chirping ring from ear to ear even though i had my media volume set very low so I could hear the paging system at work. I hope somebody figures out what it is because it's annoying and I'm just plain curious as to what is causing it.

My phone started ringing at a low volume an hour or so ago, I cleared all notifications, changed all settings I thought neccessary to make it stop but it's still ringing

Workaround: Make a call and the ringing will stop.
Background:
I don't know a solution to prevent it occurring again later. I've had this phone about 5 months and it has happened probably five times. (It's not been evenly spread out though. When it happened just now it had been long enough since the last time that I had to Google the workaround again.)
I'm adding the workaround here because this is the first link when I Google this problem. And it didn't yet mention the workaround.
Had this happen the other day. Reboot fixes it but that's a stupid problem to have.
